Former super welterweight world title challenger Brandon “Bad Boy” Cook (23-2, 16 KOs) returned after a two-and-a-half year layoff to demolish Stepan Horvath (21-7, 11 KOs) in the second round on Saturday night at the CAA Centre in the Brampton suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Cook dropped Horvath twice in round two and the ref waved it off. Time was 1:51. Horvath complained about the stoppage. The 36-year-old Cook challenged Jaime Munguia for the WBO 154lb belt in 2018.

In the main event, unbeaten super welterweight Sukhdeep Singh (13-0, 5 KOs) outpointed Xhuljo Vrenozi (18-5, 3 KOs) over ten workmanlike rounds. Scores were 100-90, 99-91, 99-91.

Unbeaten 6’7 Olympian heavyweight Ricardo “Big 12” Brown (5-0, 5 KOs) scored a one-punch knockout against Carlos Carreon (8-8, 2 KOs) with a big right hand in round three. Time was :11.

Super middleweight Shakeel Phinn (23-3-1, 16 KOs) won by seventh round TKO over Josue Perez (14-16-3, 5 KOs). Phinn dropped Perez in round seven and Perez’ corner threw in the towel soon after. Time was :53.

Cruiserweight Salar Gholami (6-0, 3 KOs) stopped 40-year-old Sylvera Louis (8-8, 4 KOs) at 2:20 of round three in a bout for the for the Canadian domestic title. Four straight KO losses for Louis.

Super middleweight Gregory Miller (1-4, 1 KO) got his first “W” with a third round stoppage of Drake Olchowecki (0-2).

16 losses and taking on a guy with only 2 losses? sad!

Records aren’t everything. Emanuel Augustus had 34 losses but was a very good boxer! Even Floyd had some difficulty with him.

Gabriel Rosado is another example

He didn’t exactly KO Horvath. Horvath was fine. The referee just stopped the fight.

Good stoppage in that Gholami vs. Louis fight. Louis legs were spaghetti and the referee jumped just in time as Gholami would have put him to sleep.
